In real life, the americans traded insults to the Japs too. A Jap soldier might’ve seen an American as a stupid farmer with no samurai spirit. An American might’ve seen the enemy as a yellow monkey. But either way, the IJA thought they were superior by being Japanese.
This game is truly loved by historians and gamers alike for its authenticity to portray the gritty dark scene of WW2, despite not being entirely accurate historic-wise
hey buddy, this game portrayed the Eastern Front so well sure it wasn't perfect, but it did really good job. The war crimes that were just norm on Eastern Front that game showed that side as well.
7:22 For anybody wondering, the speaker in the background is playing Dies iræ from Mozart’s Requiem. You can hear part of the poem, “Dies iræ,dies illa, solvet sæclum in favilla teste David cum sibylla.” Which translates to, “O day of wrath, that day when the earth will be reduced to ashes, as David and the Sibyl both testify!” It’s one of my personal favorites from Mozart. Very fitting.
Hey bud, never knew it was actually a legit song, I thought it was some weird soundtrack that Devs made for cod waw, will checkout the song, thanks for the info :)
Something we have to keep in mind, most WW2 games show the relatively gentlemanly war on the Western Front. Not the wars of annihilation that were the Eastern Front and the Pacific Front.
My friend you did a great job on describing the facts as unbiased as they can be.Waw was a great game of the past trying to depict the atrocities of the most cruel front of all the eastern front.If you are intrested I have to suggest you a movie its called " Come and see" if you havent seen it I assure you ,this is as close as it gets to the horrors of the war against nazism.And dont forget Vasily there is an MG 42 through the wall!
hey buddy, thank you for the appreciation :) this means a lot. yes I will surely checkout this movie. and no doubt this was one of most cruel fronts not just ww2 but actually in entire human history.
btw I would suggest you a season called Generation War, ww2 movie from german perspective, it really is an amazing season shows what Germans were going through.
Games in general used to be so much more mature and not afraid to be dark, but now the big companies just wanna make more money and games turning into jokes, compare cod waw and ac1 or total war to the modern versions, they all became these corny degraded versions of themselves
i dont know why but WaW this game is really creppy, sad than other games how every most horror games are fictional but not this one im creeped out by all the details that were in the game and irl
It’s sad to think the reason the Americans used nukes on Japan proper was the battle of Iwo Jima. Before the battle of Iwo Jima the US intelligence estimated casualties for a invasion of mainland Japan to be in the low 100k range but after Iwo Jima the US intelligence estimated the casualties to be in the high millions.
Japan was willing to fight to the very end, and Japan was also on the brink of surrender due to the Soviets, they feared the Soviets more than the Americans, and Japan gave a conditional surrender, August 10, 1945, Japan offered to surrender to the Allies, the only condition being that the emperor be allowed to remain the nominal head of state.
With certain sources (Anthony Beevor's Berlin book, Operation Room video, etc.), there should be additional units apart from SS in the Reichstag sector as well. Such as a mix of Naval Infantry, Hitler Youth, Volkssturm, etc. While SS-related units; Allgemeine SS along with both German and Foreign volunteer Waffen SS, can be assumed to be the majority of defenders (excluding French SS, what was left of them should defend Reich Chancellery areas at the end of April 1945). Plus, according to historical photographs and architectural plans of the building before and during/after the war, most of Reichstag's surroundings and interiors portrayed in this game are fictional.
hey buddy, yes totally agreed there were more troops than just SS, I heard this in one of Mark Felton video Assault on Reichstag, but there were so many different units that I decided to make it simplified as this will create a whole lot of more text so I kept it to just SS, but thank you for pointing it will surely help some of buds who notice my mistake. and thank you for stopping by :)
The commisars in this game arnt that bad they didnt treat their soldiers too harsh and they didnt just stand in the back doing nothing Commisar Markhov fought until the very end, unlike the commisars from cod 1 which did nothing
Hey bud, yes I agree we can see the Commissar are fighting side by side with the soldiers, but they always sound so cruel and uncaring, they were so rude towards their soldiers just imagine how caring they would be towards defeated nation, The Germans.
This waa an incredibly good video, crazy how my ideologies from 10 when i played it saw it as cool, now 21, holy they sure do not make games the same anymore, it was atrociously fortheputting.
@@willysillyplays In school it was that Germany invaded Poland in 39, Invaded the USSR in 41, lost at Stalingrad (turning point in the east), Warsaw uprising (mostly from holocaust literature in English classes), and fall of Germany 1945. I learned mostly about the eastern front from World at War series and metric butt-tons of documentaries on the eastern front. As a Angaloid I always have a drive to learn more about the eastern front because I always feel like I don’t know much despite having a good grasp of the history.
Hey bud Thanks for the info. Yes exactly the same here I learned more about history in games than our text books, the best thing about games is, they will trigger your curiosity about certain battle and the next hour you are watching a documentary about it.
at 7:16 is that the zombies start sound? (edit) Just spotted Demsey and Nicholai at 8:19 ; I never got to play this campaign, just did zombies in it on a friends Xbox. I really missed out lol.
Yeap bud, I think Soviet soldiers deserve respect, they were the ones who faced the wrath of Wehrmacht, when Allies landed at Normandy, Wehrmacht was a different army than it was before operation Barbarossa.
Just Completed WAW The Other Day I Was Drunk On The Final Mission I Cried When I Planted The Flag Because How Powerful And Beautiful The Ending Was Also I Did It On Veteran
The only thing i have to say is that hitler wasnt fascist, the only country that was a fascist dictatorship was itlay, hitler was a national socialist, and believed in socialism and yes the only thing that draws national socialism to fascism is that national socialism believes in one race, not a hate comment just a some history not alot of people know about but awesome video, i love waw aswell its just how the game was made, tells such a good tale from the dark days of ww2 in both theaters
I played the game the very first day it released....and none of this effected me. It's just a game made up of polygons. When you shoot them, burn them, knife them, ect...they don't feel anything. Further, Call of Duty, every Call of Duty is so filled with inaccuracies It's often hard to take it beyond face value. Sure, the games are fun and immersive but that is the reason they exist. Enjoy them for what they are "entertainment" and try not to take it too seriously. Addendum- These games no matter how "realistic" they are have nothing on reality. I have seen real human depravity before and COD: WAW isn't even in the same ballpark.
they may be polygons, but the thing is they put you in the shoes of a soldier who experienced this war, read a book or a movie but you are looking at the war from 3rd person perspective despite these games are not 100% accurate they let you experience the war from 1st person perspective I think that makes a huge difference.
@@willysillyplays Sorry this is so long but it is a response to both posts. Here goes... I don't. I have never cried over any piece of entertainment in my life. Just as I have never really felt fear from them either. That doesn't mean I don't love the experience or am not immersed by them. I know in the back of my head that it isn't real. Alright I will let you know why games and films don't bother me... When I was born I was diagnosed with a severe medical disability. I have had eight neurological procedures (brain surgeries) so far in my life with more to come before it is over. I spent the first five years of my life in a hospital mostly strapped to a bed. Thankfully, you wouldn't know it if you looked at me today (thank God) because I do pull off "normal" like everyone else. My hardships didn't stop after my disability became manageable as my stepfather was abusive (physically). I didn't break free from that until I was 16. I lived a hard life but was able to pull myself out of the mire through hard work. My work in criminal psychology has shown me the depths of real human depravity that thankfully, no game will ever come close. When you are forced to face your own mortality as a child you become hardened by it. I'm just grateful that I grew up having empathy and a sense of wonder in the world. There are many like me that have never found their way out and are lost. I know because I have spent years studying them. I am no longer attached to that profession because it started to change me and I didn't like it. I work with disabled children now and it is the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life. My students are absolutely incredible. Now you understand why I try to only see the games under the scope of pure entertainment and want others to simply enjoy life. You have a great weekend.
Hey buddy, sorry man if I sounded rude or something and respect to you for pulling out yourself from so many hardships, I wish you good and happy life :) and yeah games are purely for entertainment but at least we can agree on one thing that it helped us understand history better or gave us glimpse of historical battle.
@@willysillyplays Oh not at all. Your posts were great and your points valid. Thank you for the kind words. I just want people to enjoy their time gaming as I have my entire life. If I came off as rude or angry in any way I am truly sorry as that was not my intentions either. You have a fantastic weekend my friend.
You shouldn’t believe everything that happens in the game, most of the commissars fought alongside the soldiers to defend their homeland Regarding the captured Germans... Most of the captured soldiers returned home, no one shot the Germans, even despite the great hatred towards them Using translator, sorry for any mistakes
Hey Bud, you are right yes most of the Commissars fought alongside their soldiers, but they were really uncaring and hard on their soldiers. But I know how the USSR was going through They needed every solder on the battlefield, it was an extremely hard time for everyone living there. You would have assumed from my videos, I have huge respect for Soviet soldiers who fought the Germans when their war machine was at peak, please don't take it as a hate against anyone. Thanks for stopping by and watching :)
hey buddy, I think AI voice sounds really unnatural and I dont think many people will like it. I am trying to record a voice over but damn I live in a very noisy place :) but I will keep trying.
Good work. I noticed that during most of the campaign (The Eastern front part), the Soviets and Germans will often scream insults to each other.
In real life, the americans traded insults to the Japs too. A Jap soldier might’ve seen an American as a stupid farmer with no samurai spirit. An American might’ve seen the enemy as a yellow monkey. But either way, the IJA thought they were superior by being Japanese.

Its mostly historically accurate. The only inaccuracies are minor things
@@willysillyplays it is perfect. No game comes close to its aesthetic
Chernov shows so much mercy only to be taken out by the most inhumane, horrific weapon of WW2, the flamethrower.
He is alive

that is why sanctions are important for Russia's development
This was the game that made me realize why you shouldn't play a game that doesn't match your age.
I was 3x more aggressive after playing it
yeap bud, this make me realise how gross this game was back then and we played despite how young we were, I was a 15 year old teenager.
I just played this, and now, every time i fight, I don't spare mercy, or watch my words with my insults.
@@1Geritsu4063 play Balck ops I & II and your life will turn into a fight club(movie)
You'll see Reznov everywhere
I first played it as a 14 year old, I just played it like it was a normal CoD title, afterwards, nothing changed in my playstyle.
I was 20 then,still playing that to flush out some nervousis.
Amazing game when your not getting grenade spamed to death on veteran
Been replaying it recently, the Grenade struggle is real
I loved this game. Especially the ending . Too bad Canada parliament never played it. May have saved them from embarrassment.
Ironically gave Russia legitimacy lol
The funny part is that in their haste to praise Ukraine they chose the worst Ukrainian possible as a representative
Average Canadian government moment
My friend you did a great job on describing the facts as unbiased as they can be.Waw was a great game of the past trying to depict the atrocities of the most cruel front of all the eastern front.If you are intrested I have to suggest you a movie its called " Come and see" if you havent seen it I assure you ,this is as close as it gets to the horrors of the war against nazism.And dont forget Vasily there is an MG 42 through the wall!
hey buddy, thank you for the appreciation :) this means a lot.
yes I will surely checkout this movie.
and no doubt this was one of most cruel fronts not just ww2 but actually in entire human history.
btw I would suggest you a season called Generation War, ww2 movie from german perspective, it really is an amazing season shows what Germans were going through.
Those bells you hear after MacArthur's speech give me chills man
Best COD EVER!! I hope it has remastered someday.
hey buddy, that would be amazing, I hope they consider this anytime soon.
Nice to see someone appreciate this game and details as much as I do, they really paid homage to how gruesome war was
I remember playing this in veteran, I can still hear the Japanese screaming "banzai" before throwing me every grenade in the Japanese army
7:06 there is actually a speaker you can break and the music stops pkaying
Playing*
Yeap bud, I realised it later lol.
Yo ur a hella underrated TH-cam, liked and subbed. Keep it up.
Hey buddy, Thanks this means a lot :) appreciate your kind words.
This game is the best CoD ever made! Absolute Masterpiece, no sugar coating or censorship it showed the truth of ww2.
hey bud, no doubt about that bud, there will be no other game like this.
Games in general used to be so much more mature and not afraid to be dark, but now the big companies just wanna make more money and games turning into jokes, compare cod waw and ac1 or total war to the modern versions, they all became these corny degraded versions of themselves
Honestly forgot how depressing WaW was
War in general
yeap the sound track, the lines and overall environment makes it very creepy and depressing.

This waa an incredibly good video, crazy how my ideologies from 10 when i played it saw it as cool, now 21, holy they sure do not make games the same anymore, it was atrociously fortheputting.
"They booby trapped are dead?"
7:09 if you look at above door. You will see a double speaker 📢 thats were the Mozart song Requiem coming from
Man this game’s campaign was so good. I wanna play it again after this vid
Hey bud, yes amazing I play it after a year or two and make sure you try Axis mod in which you play as a German soldier.
I too played the entire WaW campaign in one night. It was what I used to study for the AP U.S history test.
hey bud, as a non-American I have a question, did they teach Eastern Front besides Western Front and Pacific Front of WW2 in US history classes?

They portrayed eastern front excellent, the brutal, the fieryness of what the Soviet’s went through against the Germans.
Yeap bud, I think Soviet soldiers deserve respect, they were the ones who faced the wrath of Wehrmacht, when Allies landed at Normandy, Wehrmacht was a different army than it was before operation Barbarossa.
Back when cod devs gave a shit
yeap, sadly they no more put their efforts in campaign.

And this game was only rated 15
You should also respect the german soldiers, not all of them were facists. Most of them were drafted.
True That.
yeap bud, I respect them they just carried out their order and they fought for their nation but that single man made their sacrifices go waste.
Drafted or not,they were scumbags who killed my Serbians and Russians,mostly.I dont give a fuck about them.
Nice video but Soviets didn’t save anyone from Germans. They have done same and sometimes worse.
The last time I looked every nation and people that were in the axis still exist
The communist though commit numerous crime isn't as evil or horrendous as the nazi
It's almost like they were practically allies prior to 1941
Hey bud, from saving I mean if the war between the 3rd Reich and USSR didn't happened, I don't think Europe would have seen fall of Berlin anytime.
